The Valkyries

An Encounter with Angels

De: Paulo Coelho

Narrado por: Sean Runnette

A classic masterwork of spiritual tension and realization from Paulo Coelho, this powerful story of one man’s battle with self-doubt and fear is now available in a beautiful new package from HarperOne. An essential volume alongside Coelho’s other bestselling and influential books, such as The Alchemist, The Pilgrimage, Brida, and The Winner Stands Alone, the searing and unforgettable narrative in The Valkyries asks the questions most central to all literature—and all of humanity’s quest for understanding. Why is it that we destroy the things we love most? And how can we learn to let go of the past and believe in the future?

Pay No Attention To The Voice

This book was great! In spite all of the reviews here that say the reader of the audiobook is so bad you can't read through it, I say pay no attention to that. keep pressing forward you'll be pleased you did so.

Make peace with Go and peace with yourself

Make peace with God and peace with yourself, in the end there is nobody else. True to Paulo this book makes one ponder, think, puts you on an inward journey. With a little help the narrator might blossom into a more in touch with his feeling reader. The performance was killing the great revelations of the two main characters in the story. Still, Paulo this one stole my heart: great work

Paulo is one of my heros!

Once again, the author takes hold of my attention and speaks to my soul. And thus, to the soul of the world! I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for his being here on earth at this time! Every book of his I've read has spoken to me in one way or another.

The goal

I liked the honesty of the writer. The struggle does not have to be intense. If all of that mental angst was surrendered the Angel would be revealed as an extension of himself. If that was expressed as such, I missed it. Thank you for this story of “Magic” and guides and sharing for all who in their hearts know there is more and the universe holds each of us in Angelic arms. I have seen my Angel who has always been with me and was so surprised but he has come at an auspicious time. It does not have to be so difficult to surrender.

amazing story

at parts it gets hard to read/listen. keep going the story is so worth it. trust when you need to put it down, do so. the book will reveal so much more to you. thank you so much Paulo!! thank you Sean

I enjoyed it

This book reminded me we are not alone. I also loved the fact that it is a true story.

Ehh

Not half as good as the alchymist. def struggled to finish. The epilog was the best part

could have been better

the story was good but the narration was boring, which brings the whole story down.
